A Treatise On The Mathematical Theory Of The Motion Of Fluids (1879)

By Horace Lamb

Book Overview

A Treatise On The Mathematical Theory Of The Motion Of Fluids is a comprehensive book written by Horace Lamb in the year 1879. The book is an extensive study on the mathematical theory of fluid motion, covering topics such as the dynamics of fluids, fluid flow around obstacles, and the behavior of fluids under different conditions. Lamb's work is considered to be a classic in the field of fluid dynamics, and it has been widely used as a reference book by scholars and researchers in the field. The book is divided into three main parts, each of which covers a specific area of fluid mechanics. Part one deals with the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics, including the equations of motion and the laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Part two focuses on the study of ideal fluids, including the properties of potential flows, vortex motion, and the behavior of fluids in two dimensions. Part three covers the behavior of real fluids, including the effects of viscosity, turbulence, and compressibility. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented in each chapter. Overall, A Treatise On The Mathematical Theory Of The Motion Of Fluids is an essential resource for anyone interested in the mathematical theory of fluid motion, and it remains a valuable reference book for scholars and researchers in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
